The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford

Tonight caflygrl and I went to see the above-mentioned movie. Their first marketing mistake was making the title 10 words long so no one can remember it. The second was giving away the ending in the title! ;)

Actually I quite enjoyed the movie, though it was long (perhaps to match the 10-word title? - sorry I just can't get over that) I didn't find myself wondering "Is it over yet?" in the middle. I don't think I can say the same for many of the other people in the theater. A few people got up and left in the middle.

What can I say? My taste in movies is not what you would describe as 'mainstream'. I thought the acting was very good and the cinematography was beautiful. Casey Affleck was *adorable* (but that is my taste in men, slightly awkward and very boyish). And of course crazy and somewhat evil. Yeah...

yay, i'm so glad to hear Casey was good in this!!! or at least *looked* good, hehe. he's my favorite. i have been looking forward to this movie forever...but, lame as i am, i didn't realize it was already out! bah.

i am hoping i'll be able to sit through the whole thing...hell, i sat through Gerry because of Casey Affleck (and didn't think it was boring like 99% of the world), so i'm sure i'll be fine. :)

glad to meet a fellow fan...i love baby-faced boys. maybe it's kind of weird, but what can i say. beautiful eyes. haha

Actually it's not out yet, we went to a preview showing.

I actually didn't know until last night about Casey - I'm sure I've seen some of the movies he's been in (the Oceans ones at least) but I never noticed him before.

But you'll be happy - many closeups of his pretty face and eyes. ;)
